This could be Alvin's last year as a Saint and it would be a massive mistake by Allen

Saint Greg said

I don’t think it’s belt tightening. I think it’s realizing we can’t keep paying guys at the end of their career like we did with Cam last year.

The guy we should be looking at signing first is probably Chase Young. He’s 25 years old and everything I’ve heard is he’s been the best defensive player in camp. If he comes out smoking we need to try to get something done.

That certainly could be the case. It kind of seems like it worked out with Demario so they assumed it would work with Cam. Maybe they don't want to repeat that mistake because Demario is by far the exception at LB and Kamara would have to be the serious outlier at RB. To the extent that RBs can play past 30, it's usually the guys that do it with power like Peterson, not so much the quick and agile guys like Kamara.
